In an on-again, off-again process, the delayed special election to fill the top position at Rocky Boy’s Indian Reservation has been scheduled, with five candidates including the man whose removal created the need for the election.

The other fou...
On July 3, my little dog decided to wander too far from home. An unknown person picked him up and had the kindness to take him to the pound. I was later able to pick him up and bring him back to the family that loves him. It is nice and comforting to know that in this day and age there are people who care about others, whether human or animal. To the person who had the humanity to bring my little black Shih Tzu to the pound so he could be returned to us, thank you very much for your thoughtfulness. There are wonderful people...
Recently I spent two weeks in Puerto Penasco, state of Sonora, northern Mexico, in a neighborhood which reminded me of Harlem when I was growing up, dirt streets and all. My friend Lupe had gone there from Mazatlan to work for a few weeks. Business was slow in Mazatlan but hopping in Penasco, so his company said. They would provide transportation north and an apartment. He invited me to visit him and see more of Mexico. Lupe arrived in Penasco three days before me. His...

People who are avid golfers love to get out and travel. They certainly support their home course, and in our area, that’s usually Prairie Farms, Beaver Creek or the Chinook Golf Club, or in some cases, all three. But let’s face it, golfers love to visit different courses and test their games against unfamiliar surroundings and setting. And Montana offers plenty of that, with currently 119 courses listed in the state’s directory. But in our area, you don’t need to stay in Mont...

The Blaine County Fair at the Blaine County Fairgrounds in Chinook started this morning and will end Sunday evening. Preparation for the fair started with distributing gravel to dry out the fairgrounds for events that began today. The fair will be without a carnival this year because “it’s difficult to get a carnival any more,” said fair manager of eight years Suzanne Berger. This is the fair’s second year without a carnival, and the challenge comes in finding other venues...

Just days before a groundbreaking ceremony for the construction of a new clinic for Havre’s community health center, Montana’s senior U.S. Senator announced funding for a new position at that health center. Sen. Max Baucus said the position will help people get insurance to use at the center — and other hospitals and clinics — by helping them use the new insurance exchanges being set up by the Affordable Care Act, commonly known as Obamacare. Havre's Bullhook Community Health Center will receive a $73,476 share of the $1....
President Barack Obama has, again, declared a disaster in the region, opening the gate for federal assistance to local governments to recover from this spring’s flooding. Obama declared a disaster in all 12 counties and three Indian reservations for which Gov. Steve Bullock requested the declaration, including Blaine, Chouteau and Hill counties and the Fort Belknap and Rocky Boy’s Indian reservations. “By issuing this declaration, the White House recognizes the widespread damage flooding caused in north-central and northeaste...
